How do I know if my 722 k has the latest update? Where does one find the latest update available? I suppose it is here. Do the 722 and 722K models have different numbering for the latest versions?

I assume so, because my 722 is operating great and the 722K has major audio problems 1) sync between TV1 video and TV1 analog audio, 2) garbling 3) major variations in the volume during programs 4) audio that sounds like people are talking into a 55 gallon steel drum. I hope they get all the bugs out... I just paid $100 for the upgrade plus $25 for the OTA module and irritation and frustration factor is WAY UP.

ALSO, I just got off the phone with a very polite female tech from Dish Network who said in effect (not her words... my interpretation) that the software engineers have been working so much on new software versions that my request was ... well, not even on the radar screen; My request was...

"Why is there no interaction features on TVG for the 722K as on the 722?" She said that she would put it on the list, but gave me the impresssion that the other problems that they were trying to solve are so much more important to many others which is taking all their time...I sure hope they fix all the audio bugs.... oh well... please put this on the list.

Thanks for any help on my first set of Questions above and I'll keep my fingers crossed the 722k audio gets fixed.

First, I've had a 722k for many months and do not have the audio problems you mention.

You can press "menu" twice and see the version of firmware.

the 722 and the 722k have different software.

Hope this helps

Sending pictures through the air is impossible, Television will never work!

I haven't noticed any fixes with 6.56, except that it hasn't crashed when reordering timers. The Dish Pass timers still record the same program on the listed channel it's mirror at the same time. You'd think that would be an easy fix, but I guess not.

There is one new bug I've noticed. If the DVR turns itself off using the inactivity timer, the lights on the front of the DVR will remain on even though the DVR is in Standby. Maybe that is why 6.57 was released so soon after 6.56. Who knows.

The list of bugs is long, so I don't think any new release will take care of all of them.

Symptoms: 1. I get messages on screen saying that the recording cannot continue because the disk is full, and there is anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes of space left.

2. Tonight, recording "It's a mad mad mad mad world", the recording stopped with enough unused space to show 3 h 30 minutes of normal def space, 52 minutes of Supernatural (still in progress), and 6 minutes of Vampire Diaries. VD stopped, along with MMMMW, because of disk full. (In fairness, I didn't realize MMMMW was HD, or space would not have been a problem).

The point here, is that both recordings could have continued.

3. Oddly, and I don't understand this: MMMMW shows up as deleted for disk full in the history log, but also shows as present in the list of recorded programs.

4. Hmm. VD shows 6 minutes from 8:54 to 9:00, not 8:00 to 8:06. Something is wrong here -- is seems that MMMMW recorded twice, on both tuners; when it filled up, it stopped both, and deleted one. The problem is that I only got a "Will not record" for Daily show/Colbert report, and NOT for Vampire Diaries; checking the schedule earlier showed that MMMMW and VD were to record. At no point did I get a "will not record" for VD.
